Ok, for those of you that are still a little uncertain as to who Vis Arts is and what Vis Arts does, Vis Arts would firstly like to say hello and personally introduce itself...
Vis Arts currently holds the title as TCD's BEST SMALL SOCIETY 2009/10! - An accolade that could never have been achieved were it not for last year's brilliant committee, their hard work and dedication as well as all the members of the society who brought so much interest, enthusiasm and talent to the table.
The reason we are (GENUINELY) THE BEST SMALL SOCIETY is because, despite our diminutive size, we offer a HUUUGE range of activities including gallery trips, talks and workshops with artists, curators and writers, the crème-de-la-crème of the current visual arts scene.
Vis arts also organises an AWESOME TRIP AWAY EVERY YEAR, usually after Christmas! Previous cultural capitals of art, fun and mayhem including BERLIN (!) and LONDON (!)
Furthermore, and possibly most important of all, last year, Vis Arts organised and ran a GALLERY EXHIBITION that showcased the hugely diverse and eclectic work of both staff and students from Trinity College! The Vis Arts committee and members ran the exhibition solely AND, for those whose work was shown, much of it was snapped up by the Trinity Art Collection, a huge body that owns works by some of the biggest names in Irish art, including Louis LeBrocquy and Jack B. Yeats!
However, for those that missed out on the excitement last year or are worried their social calendar would be incomplete without it THIS year, have no fear because Vis Arts is back once more and with a vengeance that will most definitely include A SECOND EXHIBITION! – I don’t know about you, but I’m already excited!
I hope this has offered a nice, little scope into who we are and what we do. AND if you are reading this then you (yes, you!) owe us a BIG HELLO at our stand in September, which, if me must admit it, has been feeling somewhat empty without you…. ;)
Love and paint, guuuurl!
Michelle
